Untamed Heart

Joey. Time to go.

Oh, aren't you excited?

Get his bag.

(voices outside)

- Goodbye, dear.

- Say thank you to Sister.

- (Joey) Thank you, Sister.

- Let me get one more shot.

- Bye-bye.

- Goodbye, dear.

(nun) One day the great king

of the silver baboons

came down from a peak

high on a mountaintop on Kilimanjaro

and caught your father stealing

his treasure from a deep, dark cave

from which enchanted rubies

spilled out down the mountainside.

After a great battle with the baboon king,

your father was very badly

wounded and left to die.

But when the baboon king found out

that your father wanted

the enchanted rubies to cure his son...

- Sister! Adam's not breathing!

... he took his own heart...

(nun) Children, children,

move to the side. Adam! Adam!

(child) Is he dead?

Did he hurt his head?

I don't know.

They just said he wasn't breathing.

Well, he's breathing now.

Call Sister Catherine.

- I will.

- Adam. Adam.

Adam.

Don't give up on us.

Don't you give up, child.

Don't you break our hearts.

Oh, Adam. I've tried so hard with you.

That poor little heart of yours.

I don't know what else to do.

Oh, Adam.

(woman) Caroline.

Caroline?

Yeah? What do you want?

I can't do anything right now.

- Aren't you gonna get something to eat?

- Later.

# I am sitting in the morning

# At the diner on the corner

# I am waiting at the counter

# For the man to pour the coffee

# And he fills it only halfway

# And before I even argue

# He is looking out the window

# At somebody coming in

# "It is always nice to see you"

# Says the man behind the counter

# To the woman who has come in

# She is shaking her umbrella

# And I look the other way

# As they are kissing their hellos

# And I'm pretending not to see them

# And instead I pour the milk

(car horn)

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I missed you.

- You missed me.

Since what, yesterday?

Yeah. Why not?

Aren't we goin'?

Yeah.

- Is anything wrong?

- No.

- What do you wanna do?

- I thought we were goin' to the game.

What's the matter?

Steven?

Do you wanna just go some other time?

You don't wanna see me any more.

No, I didn't say that.

It's just... I don't know. Maybe we should

just start seeing other people.

This always happens to me.

Why does this always happen to me?

I let myself get involved,

I wind up getting hurt.

- Caroline.

- What did I do that was so wrong?

Caroline, don't say that.

You didn't do anything wrong.

It's me. I just...

I don't know. It's...

- Come here.

- No!

Caroline, come here.

Come on.

- Don't cry.

- Don't leave me.

I'm going inside.

- Why don't I call you later?

- No, don't. Just leave me alone.

Caroline, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Yeah... Well, you did.

(girl) Did he tell you why?

(Caroline) No, he just said

we should start seeing other people.

He's a jerk.

He could've at least told you why.

Forget it. I don't feel like

talking about it any more.

- Talk about what?

- Steven broke up with Caroline today.

Which one was Steve?

The one with the fig tree in his yard?

No, that was Jackie.

Steven had the sick mother.

No, that was Bob. And his mother got

better, and that's when he dumped me.

- So, Jackie's the one with the fig tree?

- No, that was Mike.

Mike?

- I'm gonna call him.

- Caroline, don't you dare!

My God, the guy broke up with you.

You gotta let him call you.

Caroline, this guy is a jerk, OK?

You watch. I'll bet you he's gonna come

crawlin' back on his knees, saying

"Oh, Caroline, I miss you!

I want you back!"

- Yeah, like they all do.

- You're too good to these jerks.

You gotta learn to put your foot down.

You got too good a heart.

If you let 'em walk all over you,

that's what they do.

What scares me is when someone

as screwed up as these guys are

- doesn't want me.

- (man whistles)

Come on, ladies, we're getting busy now.

You're taking too many breaks. Let's go.

What, is he whistling at us like

we're dogs? Does he ever go home?

All right. I'm going.

I'm going! I'll see you tomorrow night.

- Working tomorrow night, hon?

- Yeah. I'll be here.

OK. Well, you know what?

Walk safely home, OK?

There's a lot of crazies out there.

I'll see you later. Caroline...

He's a jerk.

(girl) Adam! Table seven.

Adam.

Adam!

(man) Here they come, you guys.

Hey, Skip. Congratulations!

Hey, Jody. Come on in, come on in.

Cake, ice cream, champagne.

Make yourselves at home.

- John, where the hell is my tuna melt?

- I'm workin' on it.

You're gonna have to work a little harder.

This guy's having a heart attack.

You think you could send Adam

over to table five? Thank you.

OK.

- Oh, great.

- No, wait. That's Cindy's tuna melt.

It's all right.

- Hello.

- (man) Finally.

Here you are.

- Caroline.

- Here you are. Yes?

- Where's Adam?

- I don't know.

Tell him to get his butt out here.

I need him.

Don't cut the cake yet.

Let me get a picture.

- Hey, Caroline.

- Not now.

Oh.

Adam, you cut yourself. Let me see.

Oh, my God. This is pretty deep.

You might need stitches.

Hold it like this. I'll put a bandage on it.

Keep it up, because...

You know what? Let me wash it out first.

Come with me. I'm gonna rinse it off.

If it doesn't stop bleeding, then maybe

Jim can take you over to the hospital.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

What do you have all over your hands?

Is that syrup or?

It's sap.

You work over in that Christmas-tree lot

during the day, don't you?

Yeah, yeah, I've seen you there...

hauling trees once or twice.

You smell like a pine tree.

Like a Christmas tree.

Maybe I'll stick a star on your head, huh?

Just kidding.

I used to love the way our Christmas tree

smelt when we were little.

Brings back memories, you know.

When life was simple.

Now my parents put up

this stupid artificial tree.

It's all fake. Just not the same, you know?

You just don't talk much, do ya? Don't

worry, I'm not gonna make you talk to me.

(Jim) Could I have a waitress

out here, please?

You'll live. I gotta get back to work.

(softly) Thanks.

Why don't you go over there

and handle it?

- You can do it.

- (man) Give me the quarter.

Hey! Hey! How would you

like to pay for that machine?

It just stole my damn quarter, sweetheart.

That's cos guys like you

pound on it all the time.

What's the matter with you?

It ain't your machine.

As a matter of fact, it is,

so don't hit it any more.

- Thank you.

- This your diner?

No, just my machine. Just wait.

It happens to be a very good investment.

Once it's all paid off.

- Now what brand?

- Marlboro.

Lights.

100s, please.

- Here.

- That's great.

If you have a problem with it,

come to me next time.

How'd you like to feel that, huh?

She'd make a meal outta ya.

- You know her?

- Don't you remember who that is?

- No. Who is she?

- Well, just wait. You'll see.

Hello. Do you fellas know what you want?

Yes, we do. We would like

to have Caroline wait on us -

if you don't mind - because,
